Key Facts Memory Task: Atomic Structure

State the approximate radius of an atom 1x10-10 metres

Describe the current model of the atom A positively charged nucleus composed of both protons and neutrons surrounded by
negatively charged electrons

How to move an electron towards or Move away – electron absorbs electromagnetic radiation
away from the nucleus Move towards – electron emits electromagnetic radiation

What is an isotope? An atom with the same number of protons but a different number of neutrons

What does the atomic number of an The number of protons

atom represent?

What does the mass number of an atom The number of protons and neutrons
represent?

What can lead to a scientific model New experimental evidence

being changed or replaced?

Describe the plum pudding model of the The plum pudding model of the atom is a ball of positive charge with negative electrons
atom embedded in it

State the conclusions of the alpha Most of the atom is empty space and there is a positive nucleus in the centre
scattering experiment
How did Niels Bohr adapt the model of He suggested that electrons orbit at specific distances
the atom?

What did James Chadwick do to change His experiments provided evidence for the existence of the neutrons
